The Canadian Press is reporting that the Leafs' poor performance is now to blame for production cancellations at the CBC (feel free to pick your flavour - the Star and the Globe both ran the same CP wire story).

Apparently, without the playoff revenues generated by the large audiences that tune into post-season Leaf broadcasts, the CBC can't afford to keep crap quality programming like Hockey Wives and Jpod on the air.

And new evidence has emerged regarding the real architects of the war in Iraq...
